So on the bus today just passed lotte world in Jamsil I see this hip looking guy, slick hair, leather jacket on a shiny new ducatti with these two schoolboys kneeling in front on him with their hands above their heads in a praying fashion... They actually didnt too worried about it..
The guy on the bike looked as if he was telling them some stuff and was a bit pissed off looking.
Am I right? Was this some kind of Korean gang initiation? |

| I'm pretty sure they kiss and hold hands in a real gang initiation. |

... and, of course, sit next to each other with their hands on each others thighs (how sweet).
Korean "ganstas" - the most macho and badass pimps and loansharks ever... EVER!!! |

| the weird thing was they were not on a street corner as such but on a traffic island. Which made it that bit more strange. |

Kids maybe just ran out in front of him or something, he nearly killed them, so he decided to teach 'em something? |

| No, gangs here have to *beep* each other up the ass and have a competition on who can wear more pink. |

Kneeling and begging for forgiveness is typically considered to be a sincere form of apology in Korea. It's meant to show shame and regret. It usually looks like a lame sham to me to keep up appearances.
Anyhow, they probably threw something at his bike or did some other stupid thing. A gang initiation? Hardly. |
